If they tend to have high levels of Omega 6 it is 98% sure because of the corn they are fed in captivity because growers can save cost on production while lining their pockets at the expense of their client´s health. If you are going to blame the Tilapia and not eat any more than make sure to also stop eating store bought eggs! Why? Because thay are also fed corn and other grains and so their average Omega6/3 ratio is as high as 24/1 out of balance when it should be 1/1 in nature (IE. with range fed animals vs a grain-based diet) Here are two "Must see" URLs which for anyone with real interest in either the non-issue of Tilapia effects upon health or human health in general: http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/health/tilapias-worse-than-bacon-oh-please-209146/ http://www.texasgrassfedbeef.com/focusing_on_nutrition.htm It´s the grain stupid!

Algae, duckweed, worms are all exceptionally bland. Tilapia should be fed a diet rich in arugula, bacon and cheese. Even better if you can get them to swim in extra-virgin olive oil. Yes, it is more work and considerably more expensive than dumping a bag of corn / sawdust / asorted industrial waste into a fish farm pond but it would produce a fish of superior flavour! Paul:

If its country of origin is a third-world shithole, the third-world shitholeness is most likely going to be absorbed into the food. Wild caught is the way to go.

Corn is not a natural or healthy food for fish and cattle. Only through human intervention did they evolve to eat corn. Tilapia should be fed algae, duckweed, hyacinth, worms and lettuce. If fish and cattle are fed green waste water and last years corn surplus will the food be healthy and nutritious? No, the quality of the animal food is paramount. Corn fed cattle are more prone to e.coli, because of a more acidic irritated stomach, which necessitates anti-biotics. There are many reasons why feeding an animal or a plant a balanced and appropriate diet will be healthy for the consumer. Know what the animals that you consume, have eaten.
